Brandon did a great job sharpening my knives. This is something that can be inconvenient to do at times, but the fact that he comes directly to your house and is prompt on time and efficient made this a breeze I would definitely hire him again.

Brandon did an excellent job sharpening our knives and it was so nice to have them done in about an hour or so. No leaving them somewhere and then having to wait for them to be done. No knife withdrawal!

Very punctual, professional and a former chef so knows knives! Worked on my cheap butcher knife to my $500 Miyabis. They all feel even sharper than the first day I got em. Highly recommend!

The Hands Behind Keeping It Sharp
Hi there, I am Brandon, the owner of Keeping It Sharp. After spending over 10 years in professional kitchens and a butcher shop, the biggest lesson I learned is how important a sharp knife is in the kitchen. After cooking with friends and family, I noticed that most people have dangerously dull knives in their home!
I have spent years sharpening knives for myself and my coworkers in professional kitchens and I believe your home deserves the same safe. When your knife glides instead of slips, dinner stops being a chore and becomes something you look forward to again. Steadier hands, cleaner cuts, less frustration, more time actually enjoying the people you're feeding.

Absolutely and this is one of the most popular ways people book in neighborhoods like Newport Beach and North Tustin.
Each household receives 10% off. Last-minute additions are welcome; just give me a heads up.
-
Each knife averages 4–5 minutes depending on its condition. A household with 8–10 knives is typically complete in under an hour. You're free to go about your day and I will return them to you as they're finished.
-
Not necessarily. Many clients leave their knives in a designated spot and we return them when finished.
If you'd prefer to be present, you're always welcome and I am happy to talk through your knives and their care.
-
There is a lot of factors that determine this. Most manufacturers recommend getting your knives professionally sharpened at least 1x per year.
For homes that spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I recommend every 4-6 months.
-
I use two methods to sharpen.
Traditional hand sharpening on whetstones
Wheeled Whetstone
Sharpening via the wheeled whetstone allows me to sharpen your knives at their exact angle while still removing minimal amount of steel.
Traditional whetstone is by request only, refer to the Signature Blade Renewal pricing. I used multiple whetstones to bring the edge back to life and finish on a leather strop.
Both methods are waterstone based to ensure your knife will not overheat in the sharpening process. Maintaining the integrity of the edge.
-
We ask for a minimum of 6 knives per appointment to ensure the visit is worth your time and ours.
If you have fewer knives, call Brandon and when I am scheduled nearby, we can often work something out at no extra hassle.
